I've been working on sets to match with the forthcoming Noblegarden mount Swift Springstrider. As a hunter, I tamed the corresponding Ivory Tallstrider (like this one: Fleeting Plainstrider) and did some matching. The ivory tallstrider skin is dingy white and grey-green, with pinkish-tan claws and bright orange eyes. I think this Knight's Mail set is really a nearly perfect match for the grey-green color, pretty easy to get, and it's easy to match with weapons. The Bonelink set is nice, too (more hints of tan/brown), but it's much more rare.

In my transmog, I've replaced the shoulders with Ornate Pauldrons, and the head with Ornate Circlet. This leaves the set a little more green and a little less brown, to help it go with the strider better. I also like Sundered Spaulders for shoulders with this set.

For the weapons, I've gone with Lohn'goron, Bow of the Torn-Heart for the bow, which is a fabulous match - I've been looking for a set to match it with. There are plenty of plain light green/blue polearms that would look awesome, but I've chosen Banner Slicer. My favorite polearm, and again, something I've been looking to match for a long time. I know the brown of the banner slicer isn't quite right, but the ribbon is a good fit.

Edited to add fleeting plainstrider link - pet link didn't work

Personally I like (Blackforge Cowl) much better with this set...I generally don't like the circlet-style pieces on males.

Wear with (Verigan's Fist), if you've still got it, for a nice retro feel.

I would also like to point out this set is nearly identical to what Ricket wears. She is one of my favorite NPC's, so I use this set on my hunter.

This set uses the blue-silver (officially "Bluish") variant of the A2 Plate artwork and forms a complete six-piece set of the art.

Note that there's no artwork for a head or shoulders for this set. While there are "Knight's" pieces for these, they use unrelated artwork and so aren't included here. Only a couple of colour variants have head and shoulder art in the database, but this isn't one of them. If they did exist they'd probably look like blue-silver versions of Horned Viking Helmet and Grimscale Pauldrons (from the "Ironforge Guard" and "Silver" colour variants, respectively).

There are actually four other colour variants of this set and all have at least one piece in the game, but only one as a complete transmog set. Note that some are in mail, and some are also poor quality and so currently untransmoggable. See:

Black:Plate only: complete six-piece set, but only in grey, untransmoggable pieces of the Deteriorating Plate and Tarnished Plate sets (click on the link to view appearance and list of pieces). There are also three transmoggable helms that are technically in this colour, but they don't match exactly and the colour naming could be a coincidence: Grimscale Helm, Reaver Helmet & Bogslayer Helm. There's also no shoulder art for this colour
